ARSENAL could be reunited with Thierry Henry in the summer.

The Frenchman, who carved legendary status for himself during two separate spells for the north London outfit, is set to be offered a coaching role in the summer.

Henry, who is currently at MLS club New York Red Bulls, looks poised to be given a post in Arsenal's youth academy.

And Henry's appointment would be popular as he has always had a special affinity with the fans.

The International Business Times claims Henry may be joined by either Dennis Bergkamp or Patrick Vieira, who are both touted as candidates to replace Liam Brady who will retire from his position as head of Arsenal's youth development in 2014.

Patrick Vieira is also being considered for a role with the Gunners

They also note that first team manager Arsene Wenger has been in close contact with Henry since he moved to the US.

Henry was prolific during his time at the Gunners, scoring 226 goals during an eight-year spell with the club.

He also topped a poll on Arsenal's website as the greatest player to pull on the club shirt.
